Sempra seeks Coal Generation

For the environmentalists railing against Liquefied Natural Gas as a solution to California and America's growing energy needs, be careful what you wish for!

Sempra and other energy companies are quietly reaching back to a fuel of the past – coal.

With two coal-fired power plants in Texas already in its portfolio, Sempra is seeking a site for a coal plant in Idaho and has plans in place for a $2 billion coal plant in northern Nevada, about 100 miles north of Reno.
